[QUOTE="tunacan, post: 940193, member: 15693"] My bro in law got bit by the bug from me sending him pictures of my guns and long range shooting. He "commissioned" me to put a gun together for him...gave me no budget. He just wanted it to be big, nasty and loud. I did all of the threading and chambering on my buddies lathe (with his assistance). Reamer was a PTG SAMMI spec 300 RUM Snowy Mountain Mag Action with their 20 moa steel rail (nitrided bolt and action) PTG Bolt and pin assembly PTG .250 Lug Brux Barrel 1-10" (28" without brake 29.5 with. Heavy palma countour) RWS Brake PTG BDL bottom metal with ACIS modified mag HS Precision stock (repainted with duracoat) Leupold 4.5-15X50 LR scope (send it back to Leupold and had MI turrets put installed) I had to open the ejection window of the stock because the Snowy Mountain Action has a 1/2 larger window than the Rem 700 LA. I repainted it in OD green with slight black webbing and a few flecks of gray. It turned out pretty nice. The magazine is a 338 Lapua ACIS that I had to modify. The Lapua case is quite a bit shorter than the 300 RUM case. The reinforcing stamp in the magazine had to be removed for the RUM case to fit. I doesn't appear to have lost any rigidity and it works flawlessly now. All in all it weighs 12.5 pounds and it fairly well balanced for the length of barrel. I am going to bring it to him next weekend. Hopefully it shoots [IMG]http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/tunacan/IMG_20140406_124612_zps77732bc3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/tunacan/IMG_20140406_124549_zpsecf0c572.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/tunacan/IMG_20140406_124637_zpsbe123d49.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/tunacan/IMG_20140406_124724_zps2fb96cd4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/tunacan/IMG_20140406_124751_zps2f16cb9b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/tunacan/IMG_20140406_124759_zps9ae6cc44.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/tunacan/IMG_20140406_124759_zps9ae6cc44.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu250/tunacan/IMG_20140406_124724_zps2fb96cd4.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
